No Dáin, No Gain by Boralin

Commander: Dáin of the Ancient Halls

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This Boros Dwarf tribal Equipment deck uses Dain of the Ancient Halls as a haste burn engine that hits each opponent for each Dwarf you control on every attack. You build a wide board of Dwarves, attach Equipment for free with Bruenor Battlehammer - the deck's hidden commander - plus Forge Anew and Puresteel Paladin, and generate Treasures with Magda and Smothering Tithe to power out big Equipment. Secondary wins come from Voltron kills with Colossus Hammer, Argentum Armor and double-damage effects like Twinflame Tyrant and Mjolnir, plus extra combats from Genji Glove and token copies from Helm of the Host. Dain accelerates the clock but the Equipment-Dwarf core wins without him.
